Spencer Pratt releases AI-generated parody attack ad targeting himself in Los Angeles mayoral race
Spencer Pratt, a reality TV star running for Los Angeles mayor, posted an AI-generated fake attack ad on X (formerly Twitter) on Wednesday that mimics an attack ad from incumbent Karen Bass while satirizing his own campaign positions. The parody video depicts citizens complaining about Pratt's policies on homelessness, drug addiction, and fire safety, with absurdist humor inverting these as reasons to vote for Bass. Pratt framed the move as commentary on campaign desperation, captioning it "Karen Bass got FOMO. These AI attack ads are crazy desperate."
